Tori Spelling admits she misfactored her kids into her relationship with Dean McDermott.
The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, who officially divorced from her ex in June 2023, recently shared why she stayed with him for longer than she would have on behalf of their kids Liam, 17, Stella, 16, Hattie, 13, Finn, 12, and Beau, 7.
“On my part, at least, the want of kids,” Tori explained on a Dec. 10 episode of the Misspelling podcast, “just always wanting their parents together I think kept me from making—what was outwardly a better decision for them than what they saw between two partners.”
While Tori said she thought she was making a choice for the best of her kids, it didn’t appear that way in hindsight.
“My parents were married over 25 years, up until my dad passed,” she said of Candy Spelling and the late producer Aaron Spelling. “I saw a family always together, and so it was different and I always thought that, as bad as things might be between my partner and myself, it’s better to have their dad in the house, than in a different residence.”
